W7 / ALiveNF6P-VSTA motherboard compatibility ?
Hi all ...again :-)
I recently bought two copies of W7 Home Premium from ebuyer.com, one is for my Aunt who I've just realised has an Asrock AliveNF6P-VSTA motherboard in her PC. ....realised that when I went along there to pop in 4x1gb Geil PC2-6400 modules ....'cause going from memory I thought she had a AliveNF7 with 4 slots, and her NF6P only has 2 ddr2 slots ! :-( ....AND after rummaging on the Asrock website, it appears that they have not produced W7 motherboard drivers, ...VISTA were the last drivers for the NF6P ....so, am I going to get away with stuffing W7 in there, ...on her ASROCK AliveNF6P-VSTA board ? any advice gratefully accepted. regards, Richard |

My current board was designed for xp and as far as I know there were no drivers for 7 yet I have been happily running 7 for years and Vista before that. |

Give it a try. Do not activate Win7 until everything is set up satisfactorily. FE |

I was able to use Vista drivers for a scanner on a 7 install without any problems. Obviously, the OS will warn you that the drivers were not written explicitly for the operating system you're using but there shouldn't be an issue anyway as the base system is generally identical. -- Silver Slimer GNU/Linux is Communism |
